Zcam Update

[Martha Vanschaick]

sothis is all the help from the community and adobe staff? how do you explain this bug? if it is not solved i will be unable to work with my zcam and premiere, and fortunately it is not a problem of the camera but of the software.

Thank you Neil for your time as usual. Ops I still don't quite understand who they are users, who of adobe stuff or if we are just users. It's really frustrating because I don't want to give up premiere and totally go into davinci for this bug. I'm pretty much the only one in the zcam community who wants to use premieres. Now without creating controversy, even stones know how superior davinci is for coloring and other overall tools and performance. I want to use both and be able to do total montages without leaving the premiere. But damm...why adobe still so behind???

yes i am working in premiere, export xml and finish the color in davinci. But I don't feel that's the case and it doesn't seem fair either, I'm paying monthly for a program that works worse than one that you buy the license once and it's for life. Having to pass the clips in davinci to create prores and then work them in davinci is madness, in time, in management and it doesn't make any sense...if premiere doesn't wake up soon I think there will be less and less filmmakers who will use it. Slowly I'll try to get used to the total edition on davinci to get ready for the big step, I have no other choice there are always only problems.

BlackMagic provides free/cheap software as a total loss-leader to get you to buy hardware. And being as that hardware always, only works with BM software, it's used to lock you into using their system. And eventually needing to buy more hardware.

Dear Neil,

so are you telling me that premiere is going after the market for TV reports that film with xdcam and leaving everyone else behind? But do we realize that I can't process the files? I'll add more frames to make you understand the frustration.

@Serghios Thanks for that information. We are working on a fix for the issue you are seeing. It has to do with how ProRes is decoded on M1 Pro and Max systems with the hardware-based ProRes decode. Until we have the fix out, you can follow these steps to see your footage without those magenta blocks:

Thanks Matt,

so doing it gets a lot better, the macro blocks disappear but the magenta halos remain although much less.

But still it's better than nothing, if I playback the timeline the magenta macro blocks are there if I pause the cursor it works, as if I render or export. The zcam is a fantastic camera, even if we are few compared to sony etc etc have it properly supported would be great.

After all it is among the cameras that atomos supports, even with raw prores. I look forward to new updates
